Last month, OnePlus announced that the OnePlus Ace 5 series smartphones will be released in December for the Chinese market. The company is now slowly revealing details about the Ace 5 and Ace 5 Pro. Today, Li Jie, the President of OnePlus China, shared actual images of the Ace 5, showcasing its stylish design.
Design Features of OnePlus Ace 5
The latest images indicate that the Ace 5 has a flat screen surrounded by very slim bezels. Sadly, the OnePlus executive did not share any technical specs about the display of the Ace 5. Additionally, the photos imply that the Ace 5 might come with a metal frame. The back design of the phone is still unknown and is expected to be disclosed later this week. There are hints that the phone could have a version with a ceramic back.
Rumored Specifications of the Ace 5
Reports suggest that the OnePlus Ace 5 will feature a 6.78-inch BOE X2 8T LTPO display with a resolution of 1.5K and a refresh rate of 120Hz. Inside, the Ace 5 is set to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. OnePlus has optimized this chip to provide performance that matches the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.5, promising top-tier gaming performance while efficiently managing power and temperature like the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset.
Additional Features and Upcoming Models
The device is likely to come with 16 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 512 GB of UFS 4.0 storage. It may also feature a battery with a capacity around 6,000mAh and support for 100W fast charging. For photography, the Ace 5 could include a triple rear camera setup with a 50-megapixel main sensor that has OIS, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 2-megapixel macro camera. The front camera is expected to be 16 megapixels, ideal for selfies and video calls. Other features may include ColorOS 15 based on Android, an IR blaster, and an alert slider.
The OnePlus Ace 5 Pro, which is anticipated to launch alongside the Ace 5, will reportedly feature the more powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. It’s also expected to have an improved camera system, including a 2x telephoto lens.
In other news, OnePlus is developing the OnePlus 13 series for the international market. Besides the OnePlus 13, the company is likely to introduce the OnePlus 13R in January 2025. The 13R is expected to be an upgraded version of the Ace 5 with enhanced camera capabilities.
